Sometimes, the scoreline is too flattering to deceive. Even when Netherlands won 3-0, anyone who have seen the match will say hardly it was a one sided affair. It was easily the best game of the tournament.  The first goal was offside, and just seconds before second and third goal there was a monumental save of goal one from dutch defender, another from dutch goalkeeper that could well have resulted in Italy goal but rather it ended with dutch goal. Thats why there is such a fine line between winning and losing.

Every ten years Dutch scores a goal that takes world by surprise.
1978
Adrianus Haan  goal in 1978 against italy is still one of the best goal . Here is the link,

1988
 
Ten years later in 1988, Van Baston scores a magic against USSR in euro cup. It was one of the most incredible goal considering how narrow angle was.

Wonderful goal by Bergkemp against Argentina to take his team to the semis.

2008
 it is schhnider against Italy.

I have to say after seeing the match  of France vs Romania,  italy still are going to qualify for the next round. Last time italy lost first match of the major tournament was in 1994. But they still went to the final only to lose to Brazil in penalties. Last euro cup Greece lost to Russia first match. But they went on to win the Euro cup. I know italy will still do because they are the world champions.
